Congratulations to Kennedy Dunkin, C'2028, and Chase Bowdre, C'2029, on being selected for the BET Next Gen Class of 2026! This summer, Kennedy and Chase were chosen through a highly competitive national selection process as members of the next generation of emerging leaders in media and entertainment. Through the BET Next Gen program, they'll gain hands-on experience, mentorship, and behind-the-scenes exposure to the creative and strategic work that has made BET a cultural leader for more than four decades. As part of the experience, they recently attended the 2026 BET Awards in Los Angeles, where they connected with industry professionals and witnessed one of entertainment's biggest nights. #SpelmanSummer
